Story summary

On November 3, 2026, President Donald Trump announced via Fox & Friends that US would end $4 billion annual military aid to Israel by year's end. He argued that Israel no longer needed this assistance and could purchase its own weapons. Trump claimed he had reached an agreement with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the matter months earlier, despite skepticism from various quarters regarding the sudden announcement's timing and impact. The decision was made amid a contentious midterm election season where support for Israel had become a divisive political issue in the US.
